And he is fully best.

Christmas.

1t is often said, and we have boen tempted
thoughtlessly to agree thereto, that the sub
ject of Christmas, that subject so mystical
and so merry, so pathetic and yet so jovial-
has been exhausted. Exhausted not so. If
we admit that Christianity is a living, pro-
gressive principle, not decaying force, then
the topic of Christmas has only been treated
as it we're in preiaces and by prologue.
Leigh Hunt, who in life was the incarnation
of spirit that is emphatically of Christmas
declared that volumes remain to be penned
upon the mere separate items which we as
soclate with this wonderful season He men
tions upwards of seventy of these, beginning
with "roast-beef and plum pudding" and
ending, Enthusiastically, with Glove, hope,
charity, and endeavor," concerning which he
exclaims este perpetua, and plum pudding
enough hy-and-by all the year round for
every body that likes it,"

The most important news of the week If
we may judge from the space glyan to it in
the news and editorial columns of tue daily
newspapers-is The great Prize fight between
Jake Kilran, of Baltimore, and Je,n Smith the
noted English pugist, which took place on the
island OF st. Pierre, in the river Seine, France,
on Monday The men fought sayagely for
two hours and a.half aud after 10G rounds
the English referee declared the fight II draw.
The advantage, it was conceded, was with
the Baltimore Champion. The fight WAS for
the diamond belt championship OF the world
and $4,000. The course of training required
to fit Il man for the prizs ring develops to
the utmost degree his qualities of courage,
endurance and fortitude, and these qualities
excite the admiration of most men, but prize
fighting is, after al, merely an exhibition OF
the brute side OF humanity There's nothing

Ofall festival times Christmas is the one
most independent of the weather. Though
storms and tempests roar without, within
each home, at least on this blessed day, there
iswarmth and radiance. How like to the
ideal life of the Christian in this world! Let
the outward circumstances that surround
him be what they may 4; let storms arise and
foes assa, still within his heart is that peace"
which angels proclaimed more than eighteen
hundred years ago to the wondering shep-
nerds on the plains OF Bethlehem.

Christmas is often called "the chldren's
festival" Truly the eager, joyous anticipa-
tons, the intense enjoyment and bright happy
faces Of the little ones of the household as
they gather around the Christmas tree, add
meriness and charm to the blessed day
which no other accompaniment can give.
1t is doubtful whether the preparation Of the
Christmas tree, the evening before Christmas,
does not give as much pleasure to the grown
folks as the tree itself does to the little ones,
as their admiring eyes look upon it lighted
with tapers and hung with manifold gifts,
each marked with the name of the person for
whom it Is intended.

1t Is too much the custom 10 treat of the
claims of Of Christmas in its secular and So.
cial aspect only. That the birth of Jesus
Christ the deliverer of the human race, the
mysterious link connecting Deity with hui
man sympathies and affections, should be con-
sidered the most wonderful and glorious
event that ever happened aud the one most
worthy ofbeing reverently and thankfully
commemorated is a proposition which must
commend itself to the heart and reason of
every one who aspires TO walk in the foot
steps of His most holy life and share in the
inestimable benefits which He has purchased
for mankind. The observance of Christmas
was at one period denounced by the Puritans
as superstitious, and we are told by an early
writer that in the days of Knox in Scotland
some of the ministers preached against the
observance of all holy days, caused their
wives and their servants to spin in open
sight OF The people upon TYule Day." and
their "atfectionate auditors" constrained their
tenants to yoke their plows in contempt of
Christs Nativity. But the faithful chroni-
unpunished THAR oxin ran wod (mad), and
brak THAR neks, and famed sum pleughmen,
as is notoriousIy knawln in sundrie parts of
Scotland"
1t is now, however, matter of remark and
congratulaton that there are few who dis
pute the propriety of celebrating the ami
versary of Christs nativity by religious
service.
The first authoritative command to keep
the time holy is attributed to Clement, CO.
laborer with ST. Paul, and mentioned by the
latter in the Epis.le 10 the Philippians.
Clement says: Brethren, keep diligently
feast days, and truly in the first place, the
day of Christ's birth" 1t is Chrysostom, the
"golden-mouthed," who, referring to Christ
mas, eloquently terms it the most venerable
and tremendous of all festivals, the metropo-
